Abstract
An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a rotor, a line spool coaxial with the rotor, a bail for winding a line onto the spool and a detachable trigger mechanism. Two attachments are provided on the rotor. Two mounting elements supporting the bail are so rotatably mounted each on one attachment that the bail is pivotal about a bail axis perpendicular to the rotor axis, between a folded-in line-winding position and a folded-out position in which it is released of the line. One attachment has a recess. The trigger mechanism consists of a lever having a pivot pin engaging in the recess. The lever is rotatable about a first axis parallel to the bail axis and defined by the pivot pin between a first position and a second position. The lever is rotatably connected about a second axis parallel to the bail axis, to one mounting element by means of a driver pin adapted, upon rotation of the lever from the first position to the second position, to rotate the mounting element and thereby pivot the bail from its folded-in line-winding position to its folded-out position.
